Web 2.0

Web 2.0 is the concept that the internet and the world wide web are all about collaboration, sharing ideas and information. In short, there is a social side to the web.

The WWW has not been updated. It is the approach to using it that may have gone through a perception change.

Features and sites that have come from this type of thinking include social networking sites (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter), Blogs, Wikis, YouTube.

As with all things social, there are acceptable practices. In the real world we would call them manners. Students will also need to know how to keep themselves safe.
